Beer lovers were basking in the sunshine this weekend at the seventh Horncastle Beer Festival which has been branded 'the best one yet'.

The two-day event which started on Friday August 25 at 4pm and ends tonight, Saturday August 26, has seen people flocking to taste the range of beers, wines, gins and ciders on offer.

Held at Horncastle Cricket Club there is a range of 24 real ales and 12 ciders and perries alongside a range of gins and wines to try too.

One of the organisers Tim Hannam said the event was one of the best yet: "It's going very well, we've had a lot of punters come to visit the festival and we've even been blessed with brilliant weather. The ciders have even started to sell out which is fantastic.

"This has been one of the best years we've ever had in terms of weather and visitors are basking in the sunshine and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

"We've had cricket matches, a hockey tournament and a rugby match over the course of the weekend and lots of live music for people to enjoy."
